Outside the Beltway

Our system lacks accountability.

Former President Trump routinely broke the law with respect to protecting public records.

Drip. Drip. Drip.

Once again, today marks a day where folks who would never have supported Dr. King decide they should praise him

A year after the Capitol riot, DOJ is coming after the most violent perpetrators.

Yes the riots were a disgrace but the Democrats . . . .

It doesn’t matter what I believe. It only matters what I can prove.

The head of the House investigatory committee seems to think so.

A pattern is emerging.

The erstwhile QAnon Shaman will spend another three-and-a-half years in jail.

Resolving the legal issues will take time we don’t have.

A massive investigation into the Capitol riot looks at what came before, during, and after.

There is a lot of anger out there.

DOJ has settled a civil suit with the former official.

It appears to be only a matter of time before the SECDEF orders active-duty troops to get the shots.

Despite a rising groundswell of support, the obvious solution to our crisis has not been implemented.

The President hit all the right notes.

The President announced a whopping 72 initiatives to rein in corporate power and lower prices.

A thorough review of the fairness of the process will be conducted.

A completely unsurprising 6-3 decision.

The second won’t be so fortunate.

Even incredibly abnormal Presidents are Presidents.

A massive sting operation has been revealed.

A typical case of American blind justice.

Some good news in the hacking wars.

Vague reporting makes it hard to know whether the latest scandal is scandalous.

Prosecutors want rioters to pay for it.

The country is in peril.

Could this be the straw that broke the camel’s back?

A third of the party’s Members of Congress voted against a popular bill.

Key posts across the government remain unfilled.

Judges are pressuring prosecutors to strike deals, most of which will be for misdemeanors.

The man most famous for getting screwed out of a Supreme Court seat has a more interesting backstory.

The distance in accountability between the highest and the lowest must be shortened.

We’re witnessing something not seen since 1989.

The bane of the Trump presidency is already thwarting President Biden.

And no, there aren’t always “two sides to every story.”

Policy wonks are seeing a refreshing return to the normal order. Some believe that’s a bad thing.

In the words of Roseanne Roseannadanna, “Never mind.”

Some of the Capitol rioters were much more dangerous than others.

A large, well-trained police force was unprepared for a foreseeable crisis.

It’s finally officially official.

Although prosecution and conviction are unlikely.

Although, as usual, he maintains his odious approach to it all.

Perhaps the most normal thing President Trump has done.

Sowing doubt in the absence of evidence is corrosive.

Should we question the timing?

A pleasant surprise.
